- Background
- I've been told they have pictures of me fishing in a mud puddle in the back yard at 5 years old (and catching fish) though I've never seen these pictures. After serving 20 years in the US Navy, traveling and fishing all over the world, and, as a part time job, running the Navy's charter boat for Moral ,Welfare and Recreation in Bermuda for 3 years I retired in '90 and became a charter fishing boat owner/operator. I have literally fished all over the world. I have been lucky enough to fish for and catch Pacific Blue marlin in Hawaii and Atlantic Blue's in Bermuda, the Bahama's, Texas and Florida. I've caught sailfish in Mexico, Texas, the Bahama's and Florida as well. Now I specialize in teaching/instructing young (and not so young) anglers in light and medium tackle live bait trolling techniques, bottom fishing and light spinning tackle (live and plastic bait) fishing in the ICW and its feeder creeks.
- Techniques
- I specialize in light tackle/live bait trolling for King Mackerel, Barracuda, Cobia , Greater Amberjack and Little Tunny (aka bonita) with the occasional Mahi-Mahi and Sailfish as well as bottom fishing for several snapper and grouper species (during the cooler months) on the beach and near shore artificial reefs. I also light tackle (20# spinning gear) fish for sharks and tarpon behind the shrimp boats during the summer months. Year 'round I fish the ICW (river) and it's feeder creeks for speckled trout, red fish, flounder and black drum (food fish) as well as lady fish, jack cravelle and blue fish (sport fish).

Captain Guy was pleasant and informational. Savannah was a great first mate. They helped bait when needed and tried to find the best spots to catch fish. It was a fun trip for me and the three teenage boys I took.

The trip was as expected and the
captain did what he could to put us on fish but they just weren’t biting. We did catch a bonito and a nice barracuda which was pretty cool to catch. I was a little disappointed we didn’t catch more fish but I’d do the trip again. The captain and first mate were both very friendly and made the trip enjoyable.Bradley Lowery recommends MisStress Sportfishing ChartersFished August 2017

Fishing with Martha and the crew was a blast this morning. We caught live bait south on the beach (pogies) and ran to the inshore artificial reefs. The king mackerel were very cooperative and we soon had 6 in the boat (and had two big - 8’ - bull sharks chase one around the boat). We went on release mode from there on the kings as they had all they could eat. We also caught some little tunny (aka bonita) and a ‘cuda or two. Good trip and great people. We’re looking forward to your next trip in the MisStress. See you on the pond. Capt. Guy

We booked our fishing trip hoping to catch as much Red Snapper as limited would allow due to our last deep sea fishing trip we took in Galveston, TX years back. Guy shared that Red Snapper was out of season but he could put us on fish and we would have all the fish we could eat. We trusted him and he did just as he promised!!! We limited out on Amberjack, which are one heck of a fight to land in the boat and are extremely fun to battle with as well as catching to small barracuda which were fighters, air borne at times, plus are supposed to taste like Red Snapper!!! The boat wasn’t a big charter boat that could serve several families like we fished before so if you are looking for that type of trip don’t book this trip. If you are looking for a more laid back and personal one on one trip this is your attraction.

I can not say enough on how great Captain Guy and first Mate Savannah were. They are down to earth people that are fun to be around. Our trip started off with rounding up some bait and then it was off to where we would be fish. As soon as our hooks hit the water we were catching fish. Action packed. One fish on,, wait no there’s another and another. We were dancing around each other trying to reel in our fish so that was awesome. We limited out on our king mackerel and a few other fish. I would recommend Captain Guy and first mate Savannah to anyone who is wanting to have a great time fishing.

Me, my wife and a friend chartered the MisStress for a 4 hours fishing excursion 5/7/17. Captain Guy Spear and First Mate Savannah did an excellent job of making sure the 3 of us caught fish. Capt. Spear is about as experienced as they come and knows the area like the back of his hand. He and Savannah showed extreme patience in teaching us baiting and casting techniques. From novice to pro, this is the boat you want to charter if you’re going to fish the St. Augustine area.

We knew the weather was against us going offshore so the skipper offered us the option to cancel or fish inshore, which we chose.

Capt Guy was great, since our week in St Augustine had some rain and wind, and even got a little cold, he worked the schedule for the best time for our trip, he was very flexible and made the experience great. Our goal was for our daughters to have a great time and just fish, Capt Guy will adjust to what you want and made it enjoyable. We went to 3 different locations and caught a variety of fish, all good size (stayed in the Inter-coastal). After our trip Capt Guy cleaned and filleted all the fish and we had a great meal that night…and the next day! We caught and released a lot of fish too… If I had to mention a constructive criticism it would be that we had 5 people on our trip, the boat is a good size but it was crowded and we had a hard time casting with so many people in a small area. But overall it was a great trip and would recommend.

Capt. Spear worked diligently over the course of our charter to put me on fish despite it being an admittedly poor time of the year for fishing. We caught plenty of fish but with keepers being few and far between. A total of 6 different species were caught with bluefish being numerous and providing most of the action. If I am ever back in St. Augustine I would certainly not hesitate to fish with Capt. Spear again.

Me and my father in law wanted to try some fishing in St. Augustine, and with this we found Misstress charters which looked very promising. We’re from Norway, so this would for us be a unique experience. I brought my own fly fishing equipment, as the captain did not have this, but this proved not to be a good choice. It was quite hard to get any fish to be lured by a fly, and the captain unfortunately didn’t have any fly fishing experience at this particular river. My father in law caught quite a lot of fish using live bait, so in all the trip was a success for him. Next time we will definitely use the same charters, but instead try off shore fishing, I think this will be a lot more fun.

This was our first fishing charter out of St. Augustine. We have found our boat for all of our visits to this area in Florida. Capt Guy was just awesome. Our charter was originally scheduled for off shore but Capt Guy was gracious enough to let us change to inshore due to some rough seas the day of our trip. We spent 5 hours inshore and took home 13 flounder and 3 mangrove snappers. We dodged some rain but Capt Guy put us on the best spot and we had a blast fishing with him. We will most certainly fish with Capt Guy on the MisStress on all of our visits to St Augustine….Bob Minor

Fishing was outstanding with Bob and family. We fished the edges of a couple of storms and right down the middle of one. I gave the option of going in early (or not going at all due to weather) - option - let’s go fishing, the fish are already wet. We went through a lot of bait yesterday. As the pic shows the flatfish were on fire. We also caught a bunch of mangrove snapper but most were short. I look forward to our next trip. Capt. Guy

Capt. Guy Spear really went the extra mile to give us the fishing experience we were looking for. It took us a little longer to kind and net our fresh bait so Guy added the time to the end of the trip. He didn’t have to do that… He may own the boat but in the end, he was just like us, out to catch fish. Everyone on the boat caught fish. Fantastic trip!!! Thanks Guy!!

Sometimes the bait is easy and sometimes it isn’t. That day it wasn’t. I’ll stay at it (or go to plan B - trolling strip baits and squid, which is what we do when plan A fails). I usually allow a 1/2 hour to catch bait, if it takes longer than that we go on my time. I really like to fish live bait. In fact, I really like to fish, period. It was great fishing with y’all and I look forward to our next trip. See you on the pond, Capt. Guy

Good people make a good trip. The fish co-operated and that just makes it better. Look forward to our next trip.

Due to weather we had to change the date of our fishing trip from Tuesday to Thursday Aug 6th. Capt Guy was very accommodating. We had great weather and a great trip. Of all the boats out of that harbor and fishing the same area, we caught the most and biggest fish. He put us on the fish early with the biggest fish, a 25lb King our first fish hooked. We caught 6 more in the 10 lb range. After a few trash fish that we quickly release, just as we were about to wrap up our 4 hour trip we hooked what we thought was a large shark. An hour and half later we got the shark to the side of the boat and released it and headed home. Capt Guy was a real troop, lots of patience and never complained about staying out past out time. Capt Guy is the experience fisherman you want when you want to catch fish. I highly recommend him and will be rebooking another trip in the coming months.

Thanks, Mike. Luck is always part of it. Y’all did great on the rod and that coupled with a little luck makes a good trip. I look forward to fishing with you again.

Rain? Fish don’t care, they’re already wet. Really it only sprinkled a little on us until the last 15 min of the trip. When you’re ready to go I’m ready. If you want to stay, I’m game. Had fun fishing with y’all. I look forward to the next trip as well.

My daughter and I had a great time offshore fishing on the MisStress. Captain Spear was very helpful and went out of his way to make sure we caught a lot of fish and had fun. I look forward to the next fishing trip on the MisStress.

Had a lot of fun and the fish bit well. Quick study. Those giant bonita (little tunny) are a real pull on light tackle. Look forward to your return. Capt. Guy

Capt. Guy was great, even though my luck wasn’t the best he taught me some good fishing techniques which landed some flounder and some reds. He comes highly recommended.
